About Us

About

The Nous Group is one of Australia’s fastest growing management consultancies. Turning 10 years old in April 2009, Nous is now a 100-person consultancy and well known for its bold ideas, engaging people and influential and enduring solutions.

Nous typically works on issues that it believes promise character, challenge and multiple layers of benefit for the client. We have expertise in strategy, public policy, leadership and management development, organisational and information driven change, information management and knowledge sharing. Our consultants bring depth of relevant expertise, a rigorous strategic thinking ability and insightful frameworks to our projects.

Led by Managing Director, Tim Orton, The Nous Group brings together some of Australia’s leading management consultants, including ex Government bureaucrats, CEO’s and business leaders.

The Nous Group was established in 1999 because its founders wanted to apply their management consulting and leadership development capability to issues that mattered, with clients who shared some commonality with Nous' values. We do not see ourselves as 'minds for hire'; rather we aim to choose the challenges to which we devote our working effort.

The essence of Nous is captured in its five values:

• Positive influence
• Intellectual stimulation
• Growth, energy and exuberance
• Care and connection
• Revenue and profit

Of these, the first is our pre-eminent value, the middle three reflect our style, and the final one is a pre-requisite for continued existence. Positive influence is manifested through good, compelling, practical ideas and the organisational and leadership capability to realise them.

In terms of Nous' work, these 5 values translate through our strategy into guidelines in terms of the mix of clients with whom we work. Through our strategy, we have focused on clients for whom there is a high return on bold ideas, engaging people and the effective use of information.
